Group mobilises youths in Diaspora for Akeredolu

THE Ondo Youth Alliance [OYA], led by Mr. Oluwakayode Adeyemi has taken the awareness drive for the October 20 election to the United Kingdom [UK] and Ireland where he met with various youth groups of Ondo State and their friends on the need to vote the Action Congress of Nigeria [ACN] candidate, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu [SAN]. At a gathering in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, which culminated in the Europe-wide mobilisation, it was an unprecedented show of support for the Action Congress Candidate, Mr. Akeredolu, by the youths. In support of the youths, the gathering was attended by prominent Ondo State indigenes who have made their mark in the Diaspora like Dr. Taiwo Matthew, the first African to be elected as councillor in the Republic of Ireland. Matthew said: “This is a good show of support and a welcome development in raising the political awareness of the youths of today for the challenges of tomorrow.” One of the youths who advocated support for the ACN candidate stated that his support was based on the fact that he and his Nigerian friends wanted to come back home but they want a home that will be safe and progressive. According to him, “If what we see on television stations and read in newspapers about Ondo State is anything to go by, then the present governor does not have any business in government.” Mr. Sunday Kehinde, an indigene of Akure living in the Diaspora also expressed the need for positive sustainable change in the state, “a peaceful transition to a true democratic government formed by the ACN is what we desire and not one that will bring back the echoes of the 80s” Adeyemi implored who implored them to be good ambassadors of Ondo State in Diaspora until Nigeria passes the bill into law for its citizens to vote outside the country, said they should not shy away from the socio-political developments in their country, most especially in Ondo State. He said: “Until you are allowed to be part of the electoral process in Nigeria, encourage your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties resident in Ondo State to vote in Akeredolu in October.” He further reiterated the plans of the Chairman, Ondo State ACN in UK, Mr. Tunde Doherty’s plans to lead other UK and Europe party leaders to the state for the this month’s election. According to him, “the youths are no more interested in politics again in Nigeria because on several occasions, their leaders or representatives have failed them. But we have been telling the youths, particularly those in Ondo State to support the idea of ACN, because this is the only political party that has enough to give out to the youth. “For instance, the economic integration will not only create job opportunities for the youths alone, but also the six south west states to combine resources together. “In Ondo State, we have gas and with this, Ondo State can be generating electricity to the remaining five states in the region. “Already there is a train moving from Lagos to Osun, this is only achievable because the two states are under the same political party. If the ACN wins the election, there will be an easy dialogue between the remaining four states to have a joint train that would be moving across the South West region. “This will help in reducing the large population in Lagos and Ibadan because it will be possible then for people to be living in Ondo State and be working in Lagos. “In Agriculture, the integration will also assist in eradicating hunger in our society. We all know that Lagos has no enough land for farming, but in Ondo and Ekiti, there are virgin fertile lands. With this, it is possible for Lagos State to be using the land to grow agricultural crops for people’s consumption through the Economic integration.” He, however, urged the youths to vote massively for the ACN candidate, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in order to bring the economic integration into reality. He said: “I was Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area in Lagos for many years, despite the fact that I was not from Lagos. Not only this, he gave me an appointment in his cabinet. “I am not the only Ondo indigene who got such reward, the Lagos State House of Assembly majority leader, Hon. Adeyeye is from Ondo town, he also benefited from Tinubu’s gesture. “Mimiko benefited from this, because I took him there, he was weeping when we got to Tinubu residence in Lagos, but today he betrayed him. Mimiko is blackmailing all Ondo indigenes, but this is not true because real Ondo people are always loyal and humble. “During the Ekimogun Day in 2007, when Agagu was angry with Ondo people because of our support for Mimiko, we have no fund for that festival, we approached Tinubu who came to the event with other chieftains of ACN. Ilori said the ACN national leader donated N1million on behalf of Mimiko because he could not attend the event due to paucity of fund. “We are appealing to the ACN leaders, particularly Tinubu to forgive us and by October 20, we will use our votes to reward him by sending Mimiko away from government for the progressives to take over the Alagbaka Government House”. Also, another indigene of Ondo and Majority Leader of Lagos State House of Assembly Hon, Dr. Jibayo Adeyeye, who addressed the people in Ondo dialect, described Tinubu as the authentic Yoruba leader. Adeyeye said he had the opportunity to be the Majority Leader of the House because Tinubu wanted Yoruba integration to be successful.
